I can't believe this nonsense. I have been abusing myself for something like 5 years with "Linux on the desktop," always thinking that the next release would be "it." Today, I'm trying to burn a CD. JUST BURN A CD! And on two separate -- though very similar -- computers, I'm getting the exact same nonsense. (Which is to say that it's not my hardware, both of which have worked just fine the last time I tried on each.)
I haven't burned any cd for a while and today got a new version of gnoppix, gnome knoppix. Made four coasters trying two different writers on the same box. Just on a hunch, I disabled dma to one drive and again tried to burn another copy. And it worked! David, you might try this. My box is a 733 PIII with a 133 bus and 768mb The drives are both atapi, hp9100 & PelxCombo 20/10/40-12A Both have scsi emulation The successful write was done on the plex it will never cease to amaze ...... -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
